JEREMY Kyle sat very comfortably on top of his soap box during this morning's The Jeremy Kyle Show - after taking aim at a guest who refuses to get a job.

Guest Jimmy was on the show because his girlfriend Rose's parents accused him of cheating on their daughter in a pub car park - something he categorically denied.

Jimmy apparently cheated on his girlfriend, Rose, in a pub car park - and that's why he's on the show

This is Rose, and according to her parents, Jimmy is a thorn in her side

During the segment, Jeremy asked Jimmy if he works and he replied: "No! 'Cos I don't! I don't wanna!"

This is not what Jeremy - who has worked as a life insurance salesman, recruitment consultant, radio advertising salesman and radio DJ - wanted to hear.

Following Jimmy's revelation that he's too lazy to work, Jezza did something that resembled a 5-year-old boy dancing at a wedding and declared: "I'm sorry! I'm going to implode on national television!"

Jeremy then walked straight over to Jimmy, got right in his face and shouted: "Because you don't want to?!"

Jeremy was very annoyed at Jimmy's reasons for not working. In fact, he almost blew a fuse

He got up, did some kind of dance...

...which was not bad for a 52-year-old

Jezza asked Jimmy how much a week he gets in benefits, and he said: "It's fortnightly... I get £140."

A curious Jeremy then asked Jimmy if he spends his money on drink and drugs, and he was adamant that he does not.

He said: "No, I don't do drugs and I drink once a year and that's it."

Jeremy then probed further, asking him to explain what he does with the money.

Jezza then went on a rant about people getting benefits when they could actually be working

At this point, Jeremy is furious. He turns his back to Jimmy, looks straight into the camera and launches into something of a rant.

He said: "I know this program should never and will never be political, and this would cross any political party's spectrum. The reason this country is in the poop is because you are allowed to say 'I don't want to work' and get 140 quid over two weeks."

He really means business

Jezza's studio audience are absolutely lapping it up and the host goes back over to Jimmy and shouts: "I hate people like you! There are people looking for jobs and struggling and you.. you smug..."

Jeremy was so furious, he couldn't even finish his sentence. Later in the show, Jeremy revealed the results of Jimmy's lie detector test.
